Tapering for Valentia (Training Week 07/05/13)

I had a good week of training last week, I pushed myself hard and feel I am stronger for it. I completed my first Duathlon last Wednesday in the Phoenix Park too. It was a great experience and will definitely be doing it again. It's good to get the guys from the club out on a sunny evening midweek! The next one is on Wednesday the 5th of June so if I'm able after Tri Athy I'll be there. This Saturday I will be in Valentia for the sprint triathlon. I'm hoping to do a decent race as I have been putting in a good bit of effort. My training this week is pretty easy from Monday onwards. I'm hoping this constitutes a good taper but I'm not 100% sure, so any tips on pre race training / tapering are welcome.

About Me

Irish Winters' will try to break you, but don't give up, seemingly endless wind, rain, sleet and more dirty weather are no match for the motivation of an Irish athlete! when April comes you better be ready, Race season begins.
My name is Eoghan and my goal for 2013 is to break 2.20 for an Olympic distance race. The one I am aiming for is the Dublin City Triathlon on the 25th of August. I have quite some way to go. I'm hoping with good training and staying injury free I can get there.
